It's twelve minutes after sunset with streaks of orange and gray clouds behind tall palm trees conjuring up a Monet painting. Riding the Stanford Shuttle Bus on El Camino Real, took photos through the window to capture this impressionistic art scene. Pine trees on the street are blurry with car headlights elongated like tubes of fluorescent lights with firmament of pink and blue. This evening's sunset radiance resembled the sublime glow that Delacroix splashed in two hours on the wall of Dumas costume ball. The bus is at Page Mill Road and eight redwoods are lined against the azure twilight with cloud streaks like five fingers of a giant hand stretching across the sky Is this The Hand of God that Rodin molded in his sculpture or is a cosmic sky painter at work? The fingers of this giant hand cloud are extremely long almost like those sharp claws of the Wolverine ready to strike his enemies with red rage. Peter Y. Chou Mountain View, 10-23-2013 |
